ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR APPLICATIONS – Two-day Regional Workshop on scientific writing skills for young medical scientists
Registration deadline: Friday 28th February 2012

Venue: Pretoria, South Africa
The poor understanding of the task, the concepts involved, or the form the writing should take often results in poor writing. Writing plays a central role in constructing understanding, and is a mode of learning integral to student development. Research in this field suggests that significant improvement in student writing happens best as a result of one-to-one consultation against a background of relevant information.
